Google recently released a new feature to show if a site is “mobile friendly”. Google’s new ‘Mobile-friendly’ label that may be included in mobile search results for websites that qualify for it without the website owner doing any additional work. Here is a screen shot of a search result for Mashable.com

Any website owner can check their site using this free tool from Google at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/

Both mobile optimized sites or fully responsive sites get a thumbs up from Google. Here are two screen shots: one from a site that converts this site to a mobile site, and the other from the fully responsive version on this site.

On April 21, 2015 Google will roll out a big algorithm update giving preference to mobile friendly websites. If your site does not pass the test, contact us today or call 678-520-9925.
